Walvis Bay Wellness Centre

Well it's been a long time in coming but the Walvis Bay Wellness Centre will have its official opening on the 1st of December 2008.


This is a really proud moment for me as I put quite a bit in too getting the centre on the ground in Walvis Bay. But is has been a team effort. Even after I left Namibia for the last time there was still a fair bit of work to do and the team have done loads to ensure that the centre opens on a high note.


North Star Foundation Africa has now got a new team member to carry on from where I left off. Clementine comes from Spring Global Mail. Spring is part of the TNT family so it's great to see that the baton has been past on so that others can experience what I had for the past 6 months. Clementine will be based out of Namibia. Now to say I am not jealous would be an understatement! But I am glad to see that Clementine has already fallen in love with Namibia in such a short space of time.


I have been hearing great things about the Walvis Bay project. Good support from local businesses and the communities. Every one has really pulled together and I am sure they will continue to pull together. It's the Namibian way.


I unfortunately will not be able to attend the official opening of the centre on Monday the 1st of December. I am just a bit too busy to be honest. I never thought I would be too busy to go to Namibia but I am. I am currently in Scotland till the end of the week catching up with family then next week is an action packed week for me at work. The week after that, the same week of the opening, I am of to Germany for a few days with my best mate Brett to go and see a bit of Germany and to see a mutual mate of ours who now lives in Germany so its a bit hard to just juggle it all.


I will be there in spirit and my support will always be with this project that is so near and dear to my heart.


To the team........


All the best guys you deserve it. Job well done !
